Stoner/Doom bassist thread part 25: Witch Kittens from Candy Mountain

So, I've decided to give Rotosound 77 LEs a try. I like my Chromes, but like I've mentioned before, they're a little loose in C and not that bright. I'm hoping that I can get a little more tension and some brightness out of the 77s. If not, then back to rounds I guess.
Jamming out to that Ufomammut link while I change strings. And then, off to Motorcity Guitars tomorrow to try out some amps. Planning on giving the SVT-7 Pro and the Orange Terror 500 a serious work out.
Do you guys think it would be worth it to bring my own cab, if I'm planning on replacing that within the next year? I'm already planning on bring my own bass (since I doubt they'll have any P's sitting around in C standard).

Some shops have a 30 day return policy. I've returned countless things after bringing them home and trying them with my rig (and even in jams). I think that is the way to go if it is an option.
The 77's will have the tension and the brightness your looking for I think. Love them on my p. if your on a computer Check out my soundcloud and see round vs. flats
Speaking of strings, i made a custom D'addario nickel set for my downtuned jazz. 125, 95, 70, 50 and so far i like them. not as nice as lo riders in feel or tone but the bigger selection in gauges allowed me to get better tension across all 4 strings.
It would be a good idea to check out all the bands on Small Stone Records
Definitely, they have a ton of great bands. It's been mentioned before, but the Small Stone jukebox on Bandcamp makes for some mighty fine listening.

That is the coolest thing ever!!! not only that the cabbie was playing it but the fact that you were probably the only passenger that would have recognized it.
Still too early to call it, but the 77s definitely have the tension I was looking for. Working on my intonation now (which was off before anyways). That low C is still a bit off even with the saddle moved most of the way back.
well isn't that the typical stoner rock response. one can only imagine the posturing had they been two metal bands
